Nana Adwoa Konadu Bonney-Graves is a young talented author who has always pursued writing as a pastime that truly evokes all emotion. She was raised by her grandmother in Ghana, where she received her Early Childhood and Junior Secondary School Education at North Ridge Lyceum, a private institution in Accra. It was there after reading Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre” and Max Ehrman’s “Desiderata” when she fell in love with literature and its many genres. She completed her High School education in United States at James Bowie High School in Arlington, Texas and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology at Texas Wesleyan University, in Fort Worth, Texas. With a goal to achieve a dynamic career in Counseling, her journey continues as she pursues a graduate degree in Professional Counseling.

For Adwoa, writing has always been a form of release. As a result, writing and reading poetry became a catalyst to encourage, inspire and motivate herself and others through life’s different turns. Upon the many obstacles she has overcome in life, her message is one of triumph, strength, and always looking forward. Inspiration for her work comes from so many venues: her strong faith in God, the literary works of diverse, notable poets, writers, and musicians, as well as life experiences. Surreptitious Voice is her
Afia Afoanimaa Asare is a Ghanaian born aspiring artist. She immigrated to the United States with her family in 1995. Afia began her education at University Primary School in Kumasi and completed at Kennedale Independent School district after moving to Texas. She then acquired her Bachelors degree in Finance from University of North Texas in Denton.
Artistic expression has been a part of Afia's life from a young age, as many childhood friends can attest to. From spending free time strolling through art galleries to creating her own inspired pieces at home. She enjoys all things creative and is a true lover of the arts.

For many years, Afia had been hesitant and even intimidated by the idea of sharing herwork despite the obvious delight others took in her artwork. After learning of the opportunity to finally break away from her reservations by publishing her work for the first time, Afia has been inspired to follow her passion. She finds her strength and motivation in Scripture and her faith. While Afia prefers to work in the abstract form, she is artistically inspired by nature and all areas of life.
Afia currently resides in Dallas, Texas where she enjoys time with her friends and family. Alongside her artistic abilities, she finds leisure in cooking, designing, and exploring new music. Although Surreptitious Voice is her debut to the world, she intends to make her mark with future works yet to be released.
